Danielle Dubé
Counselling
I bring a unique depth of experience and empathy to my counselling practice, shaped by over 14 years of service as a full-time firefighter and a lifetime in the first responder community. As the daughter of a retired firefighter and a firefighter myself, I know firsthand the intense pressures, trauma, and resilience required in this demanding profession. Supporting first responders and their families has become a passion for me, and this commitment led me to pursue further education so I could offer specialized, informed support to those who serve including police, paramedics, nurses, and other frontline service providers.
In addition to my work as a firefighter, my background as a high-performance athlete—having played professional ice hockey and represented the Women’s Canadian National Team—guides my approach in counselling first responders, their families, and athletes of all ages. I use a strength-based, goal-oriented perspective to empower clients to leverage their own abilities and inner resources as they work toward meaningful goals.
Being a parent of two young adult children, a wife in a blended family, and a child of aging parents has given me a deep understanding of the complexities of relationships and the challenges that come with navigating different family dynamics. These life experiences have enhanced my empathy, patience, and ability to offer support from a place of personal insight. Balancing multiple roles has taught me the importance of communication, setting boundaries, and maintaining emotional resilience—all of which are essential skills in counselling. I work with a diverse range of clients, and my varied family experiences allow me to approach each individual’s unique situation with compassion, helping clients feel understood and supported as they work through their own unique family and life challenges.
My practice is grounded in a person-centered approach, where I blend Solution-Focused Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Somatic Therapy, and Mindfulness techniques to create a tailored experience for each individual. My goal is to work collaboratively, providing empathy, genuine curiosity and warmth, to help my clients navigate life’s challenges, build resilience, and live their most meaningful and positive lives.
